Hi All.
i've got some spare Castrol Edge 5w-30 Fully synthetic which im considering using for next oil change in my toyota avensis 2AZ-FE with 205,000 kms (130 mi). The book says 5w-30 is okay, but i've only used 10w-40 and 10w-30 semi synthetic in the past as I think using the fully syn 5w-30 isnt necessary and I'm just wasting money.. Should i buy some cheaper oil and save this for something else?
(This may be a dumb question, but I have an urge to ask)
Would the use of this potentially cause/increase minor leaks as rumored with switching to fully synthetic? (Car currently has oil stains here and there but I thinks its just spillage rather than leaks).
